as  follows  :  He  shall  have  the  entire  charge  and 
superintendence  of  the  state  printing  and  bind- 
ing. He  shall  take  charge  of  and  be  resi)on- 
sible  on  his  bond  for  all  manuscripts  and  other 
matter  which  may  be  placed  in  his  hands  to  be 
printed,  bound,  engraved,  or  lithograjihed,  and 
shall  cause  the  same  to  be  promptly  executed. 
He  shall  receive  from  the  senate  or  assem])ly 
all  matter  ordered  by  either  house  to  be  printed

or  part  of  any  order,  which  in  his  judgment  is 
unnecessary  or  unwarranted  by  law.  and  which

and  provided,  furiher,  that  in  the  event  of  any 
state  officer,  board,  commission,  or  state  insti-

—  G  — 

superintendent  of  state  printing  unfair,  he  may 
refer  the  matter  to  the  state  board  of  control, 
which  board  shall  determine  the  matter.  He 
shall  employ  such  compositors,  bookbinders, 
pressmen  and  assistants  as  the  exigency  of  the 
work  from  time  to  time  requires,  and  ffiay  at 
any   time  discharge  such   employees. 

Provided,  that  at  no  time  shall  he  pay  said 
compositors,  bookbinders,  pressmen  or  assistants 
a  lower  rate  of  wages  than  the  average  w^age 
paid  by  those  employing  such  mechanics  in 
Sacramento,  San  Francisco.  Oakland  and  Los 
Angeles  for  like  work.  He  shall  at  no  time 
emploj-  more  compositors,  bookbinders,  press- 
men or  assistants  than  the  absolute  necessities 
of  the  state  printing  may  demand,  and  he  shall 
not  permit  any  other  than  state  work  to  be 
done   in  the  state  printing  office.

on  or  before  the  fifteenth  day  of  September  of 
each  year,  make  a  report,  in  writing,  to  the 
governor,  embracing  a  record  of  the  complete 
transactions  of  his  office  for  the  preceding  fiscal 
year,  which  report  shall  show  in  detail  all  the 
items  of  expense  attending  the  state  printing 
and  all  the  expenses  of  the  office,  including 
repairs  and  the  purchase  of  materials  of  all 
kinds.  Said  report  shall  also  state  the  number 
of  reams  and  various  kinds  of  paper  delivered 
to  him,  and  the  amount  and  quality  remaining 
on  hand,  which  report  shall  be  printed,  bien- 
nially, for  the  use  of  the  legislature. 

Sec.  529.  [Political  Code.]  The  superin- 
tendent of  state  printing  shall  decide  upon  the 
style  and  manner  of  printing  all  laws  and  other 
state  documents. 

(Preceding  is  "bill"  style.) 

"RUSH"  JOBS. 

Departments  requesting  that  a  job  be  "rushed" 
should  bear  in  mind  that  all  requisitions  upon 
this  department  for  printing  and  rubber  stamps 
are  submitted  to  the  State  Board  of  Control 
for  approval  before  any  expense  is  incurred  in 
executing  same.  This  submission  to  the  board 
and  return  to  this  department  requires  from  24 
to  48   hours. 

Prompt  attention  is  given  all  orders  for  print- 
ing, but  it  is  only  when   the  exigencies  of  the 


case  demand  it  that  night  or  Sunday  work  is 
performed,  as  the  latter  adds  materially  to  the 
cost,  whether  the  job  be  large  or  small, 

REPRINTS. 

This  department  will  endeavor  to  keep  stand- 
ing the  type  or  plates  for  forms  in  common  use 
in  the  various  state  offices,  whenever  in  our  judg- 
ment it  would  be  of  advantage  to  do  so.  This 
applies  to  forms  of  an  intricate  nature.  All  sim- 
ple jobs,  including  pamphlet  and  book  forms,  are 
broken  up  immediately  upon  being  printed, 
unless  a  request  has  been  made  by  the  depart- 
ment concerned  to  have  the  matter  held  for 
future  publication.  Such  request  should  not  be 
made  later  than  the  time  of  returning  final 
"Author's  Proof"  and  should  state  how  long 
the  matter  is  to  be  held.  Do  not  ask  to  have 
type  stored  unless  reasonably  certain  of  a 
reprint.  A  small  charge,  sufficient  to  cover  the 
actual  cost  of  storage,  will  be  made  when  a  job 
is  ordered  held. 

RUBBER  STAMPS. 

The  state  printing  department  is  prepared 
to  manufacture  rubber  stamps  of  every  descriij- 
tion  required  by  state  departments,  and  carries 
in  stock  a  complete  line  of  stamp  pads,  inks, 
rubber  type,  daters,  numberers,  time  stamps, 
etc. 

Rubber  stamps  and  supplies  may  be  purchased 
on  the  regular  printing  requisitions,  which  are 
in  the  possession  of  all  state  departments. 

PRINTING   FUNDS. 

State  departments  in  doubt  as  to  balances  in 
their  respective  printing  funds  may  obtain  this 
information  by  writing  to  the  Superintendent 
of  State  Printing. 

It  is  suggested  that  where  doubt  exists  as  to 
availability  of  funds  for  a  printing  job  of  con- 
sequence, copy  and  complete  specifications  be 
submitted  to  this  department  with  request  for 
an  approximate  cost  estimate  of  the  completed 
job,  which  will  be  promptly  furnished. 


SUGGESTIONS  TO  AUTHORS. 

To  get  correct  printinf)  at  a  minimum  cost, 
hegin  with  correct  copy.  Do  not  tvait  to  sec 
Jiow  the  proof  sheets  look  and  then  start  editing. 

This  Style  Book  is  intended  to  simplify  and 
facilitate  state  printing-,  and  authors  are  re- 
qnested  to  prepare  copy  in  consonance  herewith, 
that  best  results  may  be  attained  and  cost  of 
printing  kept  to  a  minimum. 

Copy  should  be  typewritten,  on  sheets  8J  by 
11  inches,  or  i)referably  7i  by  85  inches,  and 
sent  flat.  When  carbon  copies  are  made,  only 
the  originals  should  be  sent  to  this  office. 

The  size,  7^  by  8^  inches,  is  most  convenient 
because  it  is  the  proper  size  for  the  copyboard 
of  the  linotype  machine  ;  any  larger  size  has  to 
be  folded  or  cut,  consuming  time  and  increasing 
cost.  It  is  also  one-sixth  of  a  sheet  of  folio,  and 
will  be  supplied  by  this  office  to  any  author  pre- 
paring copy  for  the  state. 

Write  on  one  side  of  the  paper  only,  and  begin 
each  page  with  a  paragraph  when  convenient. 

Typewriting  should  invariably  be  spaced,  and 
no  interlineations  made,  or  inserts  pinned  or 
pasted  on. 

Proper  names,  foreign  words  or  phrases,  and 
all  technical  words  should  be  written  plainly  and 
verified.  Signatures  and  figures  should  be 
especially  plain.  Corrections  should  never  be 
made  by  writing  over  the  originals. 

Abbreviations  should  never  be  made  unless  it 
is  intended  they  should  be  followed. 

The  frequent  use  of  italic  should  be  avoided, 
either  for  emphasis  or  where  foreign  words  may 
be  Anglicized. 

Photographs  and  drawings  for  illustrations 
should  accompany  the  manuscript,  bearing  the 
figure  or  plate  number,  and  the  position  of  each 
indicated  in  the  copy  by  such  figure  or  plate 
number.  The  size  of  all  cuts,  maps,  etc..  should 
be  determined  by  this  office  in  order  that  proper 
dimension  and  marginatiou  be  secured. 


9 


When  cuts  nro  sont  with  mannsoript.  tho 
fiiiure  or  phite  nuiiiber  should  be  i)hiiul.v  marked 
on  the  bottom  of  each. 

Copy  for  the  complete  publication  should  be 
submitted  at  one  time.  It  invariably  delays 
printing-  to  have  copy  arrive  in  installments. 
Begin  with  cover  (if  one  is  desired),  and  follow 
with  separate  copy  for  title  page.  The  usual 
order  is  :  Cover,  title,  table  of  contents,  list  of 
illustrations,  list  of  plates  or  figures,  letter  of 
transmittal,  introduction,  text,  and  index. 

When  the  index  is  elaborate,  it  may  be  com- 
piled from  page  proofs  ;  but  preferably  the  skele- 
ton copy  for  contents  and  index  should  accom- 
pany the  manuscript.  This  is  especially  true  of 
the  contents,  as  the  copy  serves  as  a  guide  to 
the  arrangement  of  the  book,  and  is  of  value  in 
determining  the  relative  importance  of  the  head- 
ings throughout. 

Footnotes  and  references  should  be  written  at 
the  bottom  of  the  copy  pages  and  as  near  to  the 
subject  matter  as  possible. 

A  letter  of  instruction  should  accompany  the 
complete  copj'  furnished,  giving  in  detail  the 
author's  idea  of  the  plan  of  the  publication 
desired. 

Samples  furnished  should  be  plainly  marked, 
indicating  what  is  desired  to  be  followed  in  type, 
size,  paper  or  binding. 

Marking    Proof. 

This  office  will  endeavor  to  send  as  clear 
I^roofs  as  may  be  made  from  the  copy  furnished, 
and  all  corrections  should  be  made  on  such 
proofs  submitted.  Revised  proofs  will  be  sent 
when  asked  for.  Avoid  asking  for  page  proofs 
when  possible. 

Answer  all  queries  on  proof,  and  make  cor- 
rections on  the  margin  of  the  sheet,  opposite  the 
errors  occurring.  Do  not  write  over  the  print 
or  between  the  lines. 

Proofs  should  be  marked  to  conform  to  the 
following  style  :

INSTRUCTIONS  TO  COMPOSING  ROOM 
OPERATIVES. 

Keeping   Cost. 

Evepv  employee  of  the  composinsi-  room  is  re- 
quested and  exi)eoted  to  attach  the  fullest  sig- 
nificance to  the  cost  keeping  system  of  the  office. 
It  is  absolutely  essential  in  order  that  all 
patrons  of  the  state  printing  plant  may  be 
treated  fairly  and  honestly. 

To  this  end  the  job  number  l)ecomes  of  ])ara- 
mount  importance.  See  that  it  is  correctly 
placed  with  every  take  slug,  signature  and  form 
number. 


Especial  care  should  be  used  in  setting  the 
correct  title  of  the  job. 

'  All  take  slugs  should  be  set  in  10-point,  con- 
tain number  and  name  of  job,  size  and  face  of 
type,  and  name  of  the  operator  or  compositor. 

Signatures  should  be  set  in  the  following 
form  : 

1—RR— 19164. 

Every  insert  or  paster  should  bear  the  number 
of  the  job. 

The  closing  mark  (o)  is  highly  important,  and 
should  be  set  when  marked  on  copy. 

Copy   Editing. 

Copy  editors  will  endeavor  to  study  the  Avishes 
of  the  author,  and  follow  them,  except  when  in 
direct  conflict  with  this  Style  Book. 

^lark  copj'  so  that  the  compositor  or  operator 
will  not  be  in  doubt  as  to  measure,  slug,  size 
and  face  of  type,  headings,  indentions,  dashes, 
new  pages,   captions,   references,  etc. 

Copy  must  be  edited  in  conformity  with  this 
Style  Book. 

Composition. 

(V)mpositors  and  operators  are  directed  to 
familiarize  themselves  witli  this  book  and  ob- 
serve carefully  the  rules  governing  composition. 

Keep  the  proof  sheets  clean  and  avoid  rolling 
and  wrinkling  as  much  as  possible. 


—  14  — 

When  a  run-over  is  made,  indicate  the  lines 
reset  by  pencil  mark ;  also  type  that  has  been 
"pied"  or  reset  on  account  of  cold  metal. 

As  a  workman  is  judged  by  his  product,  see 
that  the  product  is  up  to  the  standard,  and  use 
especial  care  in  correcting  and  inserting  slugs 
or  type. 

See  that  the  correct  job  number  is  on  each 
proof,  and  sign  all  proofs  corrected. 

Reading  and   Copy   Holding. 

Speed  is  desirable  and  should  be  cultivated, 
but  accuracy  is  of  first  importance. 

When  the  reader  detects  inconsistent  and 
erroneous  statements,  obviously  made  by  the 
writer  through  lapse  of  memory  or  slip  of  the 
pen,  it  is  his  duty  to  query  them. 

When  the  grammatical  construction  of  a  para- 
graph is  questioned  by  a  reader  and  an  element 
of  doubt  exists  as  to  the  propriety  of  changing 
its  form,  it  should  be  marked  with  a  capital  "G" 
and  a  query  mark  inclosed  in  a  ring.  If  a  state- 
ment of  fact  is  thought  to  be  erroneous  or  is 
doubtful,  it  should  be  marked  with  a  capital  "F" 
and  a  query  mark  inclosed  in  a  ring. 

Queries  inside  a  ring  are  not  to  be  corrected, 
but  are  intended  to  go  to  the  author.  If  it  is 
desired  to  have  a  mark  corrected  and  the  query 
stand  for  the  author,  place  query  outside  the 
ring.  A  mark  queried  without  the  ring  would 
have  the  same  effect. 

Proofs  which  are  not  clearly  printed  or  which 
are  in  any  manner  defective  should  be  refused. 

Broken  or  defective  figures  or  letters  should 
be  obliterated  and  rewritten  in  a  ring. 

Upon  the  discovery  of  any  wrong-font  mat- 
rices, readers  should  cause  immediate  notice  to 
be  sent  to  the  operator. 

Readers  should  never  make  important  changes 
in  indentions  or  tables  without  consulting  the 
foreman  of  the  proof  room. 

Readers  will  carefully  note  the  instructions  to 
compositors  as  to  spacing,  division  of  words,  etc., 
and  never  hesitate  to  mark  when  work  is  im- 
perfect. 

The  marks  of  the  copy  editor  must  be  given 
consideration  by  all.  He  has  probably  handled 
the  entire  work,  and  is  in  a  position  to  know 


—  15  — 

more  about  its  peculiarities  than  one  who  reads 
but  a  small  portion  of  it. 

When  reading  avoid  any  unnecessarily  loud 
tone  of  voice.  Remember  that  small  words  are 
as  important  as  large  ones,  and  should  be  pro- 
nounced distinctly.  Plurals  should  be  clearly 
sounded. 

The  foreman  of  the  proof  room  is  authority 
for  all  matters  pertaining  to  copy  or  proofs, 
together  with  the  assignment  of  work  to  or 
other  disposition  of  the  operatives. 

Readers  must  not  make  changes  from  style  or 
copy  markings  without  consent  of  the  foreman. 
If  any  change  is  made  by  him,  readers  should  be 
notified  at  once. 

Readers  will  not  be  permitted  to  confer  or 
argue  with  compositors  or  operators  regarding 
copy,  or  to  argue  among  themselves  over  matters 
of  style.  Such  questions  shall  be  referred  to  the 
foreman. 

All  proofs  must  bear  signature  of  reader,  re- 
viser and  copyholder  and  will  also  carry  the  dis- 
tinguishing "R"  to  indicate  who  read  same. 
Readers  must  not  handle  proofs  which  do  not 
bear  the.  job  number,  title  and  compositor's 
name  at  the  head  of  the  galley ;  or  at  the  bottom 
the  signature  of  the  operator  setting  corrections 
for  revises,  and  the  floorman  making  the  correc- 
tions. This  applies  equally  to  stone  proofs  or 
proofs  of  any  other  nature. 

Readers  and  copyholders  will  alternate  in 
reading  by  galleys  whenever  practicable. 

Readers  are  required  to  give  compositors  the 
benefit  of  all  rings. 

Quietude  is  required  in  the  proof  room,  and 
there  must  be  no  indulging  in  conversation  not 
pertaining  to  the  work  in  hand.  Courtesy  be- 
tween employees  during  office  hours  must  be 
invariably  observed.  No  other  condition  will  be 
tolerated. 

All  proofs  should  be  given  two  readings,  ex- 
cept when  otherwise  designated.  To  insure 
accuracy,  proofs  requiring  two  readings  shall 
not  he  read  twice  hy  the  same  team  unless 
especially  directed  to  do  so.

Revising. 

The  importance  of  revising-  proofs  well  can 
not  be  overestimated.  While  a  reviser  is  not 
expected  to  read  proof,  it  is  not  enough  for  him 
to  follow  slavishly  the  marks  found  on  the  proof 
sheet.  He  should  see  that  all  corrections  have 
been  properly  made  in  the  type,  that  words  or 
lines  have  not  been  transposed  by  the  compositor 
in  making  the  corrections,  and  that  the  rules 
governing  spacing,  division  of  words  and  good 
printing  generally  have  been  observed.  The 
reader  or  reviser  who  passes  bad  spacing  will 
be  held  at  fault. 

A  reviser  must  not  remodel  the  punctuation 
of  the  readers  or  make  any  important  changes 
in  the  work.  If  he  thinks  that  an  important 
change  should  be  made,  he  should  submit  the 
proposed  change  to  the  foreman. 

All  instructions  on  first  proofs  must  be  trans- 
ferred to  revised  sheets. 

Revisers  should  promptly  notify  the  foreman 
of  the  proof  room  when  variations  from  this 
Style  Book  are  being  made  by  readers. 

The  following  rules  should  be  carefully  studied  : 

1.  See  that  the  proof  sheets  are  clean  and 
clear ;  send  for  another  proof  in  case  •  they  are 
not. 

2.  See  that  galley  slips  connect  before  begin- 
ning the  page  or  press  revise. 

3.  See  that  page  folios  are  continuous,  that 
running  heads  are  correct  and  uniform,  and  that 
the  proper  signature  is  correctly  placed. 

4.  Revise  carefully,  observe  connection  be- 
tween pages  and  carry  all  unanswered  queries  if 
the  proof  goes  again  to  the  author :  otherwise 
see  that  all  queries  are  answered,  and  take  care 
that  continued  and  repeated  lines  are  free  from 
errors. 

5.  If  a  revise  is  not  properly  corrected  or  is 
not  reasonably  free  from  error,  call  for  another 
correction  and  proof  (stating  number  wanted), 
and  destroy  all  duplicates. 

6.  Be  on  the  lookout  for  "doublets,"  "drop- 
outs," and  "transpositions,"  imperfect  letters 
or  figures  and  "cold  metal." 

7.  Read  all  running  heads  and  box  heads  in 
continued  tables ;  see  that  all  leading  lines  are 
carried  at  the  top  where  subordinate  matter 
turns  over ;   that  dollar  marks  and  captions  of 


—  17  — 

columns  are  properly  placed  and  uniform ;  that 
the  matter  is  as  compact  as  circumstances  will 
permit,  and  that  footnotes  follow  on  the  page 
contnininc:  the  corresponding  references  and  are 
proporly   arranged. 

8.  Always  make  sure  that  different  sets  of 
proof  sheets  on  anv  work  are  correctly  marked 
in  series,  as  "R,"  "2d  R,"  "3d  R,"  etc.,  and 
when  a  sheet  is  stamped  "Another  proof,"  carry 
the  same  designating  "R"  on  the  corresponding 
clean  proof  and  destroy  the  stamped  proof  when 
it  has  served  its  purpose. 

9.  When  two  or  more  jobs  are  imposed  in  one 
form,  the  reviser  should  separate  the  parts  to 
verify  the  imposition.  Until  familiar  with  the 
"fold,"  caution  must  be  exercised  in  cutting  the 
sheet. 

10.  Press  and  stone  revises  are  equally  impor- 
tant. With  these  special  care  must  be  taken 
that  rules  do  not  lap,  that  work  is  not  jammed 
in  the  "lockup,"  that  damaged  letters  and  "slips" 
are  indicated,  and  that  the  matter  is  ready  in  all 
respects  to  pass  severe  criticism. 

11.  State  publications  are  usually  made  up  in 
the  following  order  : 

Page  1,  title  ;  page  2,  blank ;  page  3,  table  of 
contents ;  when  contents  ends  on  page  3,  then 
page  4,  blank ;  page  5.  letter  of  transmittal ; 
page  6,  blank  ;  page  7,  introduction  followed  by 
text  proper.  Lists  of  illustrations  or  plates  or 
figures  where  used  should  follow  the  contents. 

In  the  body  of  the  work  new  pages  will  be 
properly  indicated  on  the  proof  sheet.  Tables 
of  contents,  letters  of  transmittal,  lists  of  illus- 
trations, the  text  proper  of  a  book,  and  all 
matter  following  half  titles  (except  parallel 
tables)   should  begin  on  a  new  odd  page. 

The  legend  lines  of  full-page  cuts  which  run 
the  broad  way  should  read  up  ;  that  is,  the^  even- 
page  legend  should  be  on  the  binding,  or  inside, 
margin,  and  the  odd-page  legend  on  the  outside

COMPOSITION  STYLE. 

The  followiug  rules  and  style  are  to  be  ob- 
served generally  in  the  printing  of  all  state 
documents.  It  is  not  presumed  to  cover  all 
points,  and  judgment  and  discretion  will  need  to 
be  used  in  absence  of  specific  instruction.  Web- 
ster's Dictionary  will  be  the  accepted  authority 
on  all  mooted  questions.

in  all  cases  when  preceding  numerals  or  figures. 

In  capitalization  the  distinction  between  a 
capital  and  a  lower-case  name  is  usually  that 
between  a  proper  and  a  common  noun.  Thus, 
Captain  Jones  has  a  capital  C  because  the  title 
Captain  is  virtually  a  part  of  his  name ;  Jones, 
captain,  has  the  title  lower-cased  because  captain 
is  a  common-noun  designation. 

The  following  will  illustrate  the  general  style 
regarding  capitalization  : 

President  Wilson  was  president  of  the  caucus. 
The  president  of  the  Assembly  was  also  present, 
but  was  not  admired  by  the  assembly.  Color 
was  given  to  the  report  that  the  fleet  was  in  the 
offing,  by  Admiral  Dewey  (who  was  admiral  of 
the  fleet)  appearing  at  the  caucus.  The  Admiral 
appeared  before  the  Speaker  and  asked  who  was 
the  speaker,  and  was  informed  that  he  was  the 
President,  and  also  Chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Rules,  but  that  there  were  many  chairmen. 
Many  present  came  from  the  city  of  Boston ; 
others  from  Mexico  City  ;  others  from  the  region 
of  San  Francisco  Bay  ;  others  from  the  bay  of 
Chesapeake :  others  from  the  Bay  of  Fundy : 
some  from  the  district  of  the  river  Platte,  and 
others  from  the  Mississippi  River. 

Use  today,  tomorrow,  tonight  as  one  word. 

Spell  out  figures  from  one  to  ten,  and  always 
when  beginning  a  sentence.  This  applies  to 
ordinary  text,  and  not  to  descriptive  or  technical 
matter. 


—  21  — 

Omit  ciphers  in  text  where  cents  are  not 
oxprossod— $25  (not  .$2ri.OO).  The  same  rule 
applies  in  desisnatin.y-  time — thus  2  p.m.  (not 
2:00  p.m.).  Use  periods  to  separate  hours  and 
minutes,  as  2.45  p.m.,  9.15  a.m. 

In  dates  omit  d,  th,  and  st  when  the  year  is 
Siven,  as  January  12,  1915;  but  the  12th'day  of 
January,  or  January  12th.  (nd  and  rd  are 
obsolete.)  Spell  out  in  "tenth"  day  of  the 
month.

Miscellaneous. 

Copy  marked  "Fol."  means  to  follow  signs. 
figures,  italics,  abbreviations,  and  idiomatic 
expressions,  but  the  office  style  should  be  fol- 
lowed in  capitalization,  compounds,  etc. 

Copy  marked  "Fol.  lit."  means  to  follow  liter- 
ally throughout. 

Xamesi  of  vessels  should  be  in  italic,  and 
where  occurring  in  heads  or  cap  lines,  should  be 
quoted  but  not  italicized. 

The    words    "see,"    "see    also,"    should    be    in 
italic  when  in  indexes  only. 
.  As  a  rule  italic  should  be  followed  as  marked. 

Follow  copy  on  center  heads,  and  in  flush 
heads  capitalize  only  the  first  word  and  proper 
nouns.  Where  side  heads  are  run  in.  lower- 
case the  words  and  end  with  a  period.  If 
followed  by  a  dash,  principal  words  go  up. 

Citations  in  text  should  be  sentences,  and  in 
parentheses  when  occurring  at  end  of  a  sentence. 

Avoid  frequent  division  of  words,  but  keep 
spacing  uniform. 

Divide  compound  words  at  the  hyphen  onlj-. 

Avoid  divisions  in  wide  measures. 

More  than  two  consecutive  divisions  are  not 
allowable. 

Two-letter  divisions  will  not  be  passed  except 
in  very  narrow  measure. 

Do  not.  if  possible  to  prevent,  make  a 
division  on  the  first  or  last  lines  of  a  paragraph. 
If  compelled  on  the  last  line,  run  over  not  less 
than  four- letters. 

Do  not  separate  the  initials  in  a  name,  or 
the  abbreviated  title  from  the  name,  or  run 
over  Esq.,  Jr.,  Sr. ;  nor  separate  a.m.,  p.m., 
A.  D.,  N.  Y.,  sec,  p.,  No.,  or  Rule  from  the 
accompanying  number,  or  make  any  other 
incongruous  separation.  Do  not  have  two 
consecutive  lines  beginning  or  ending  with  the 
same  word,  if  possible  to  avoid,  and  not  more 
than  two  under  any  circumstances ;  nor  any 
line  in  wide  measure  ending  with  the  article 
"a."  (Leader  and  tabular  matter  are  excep- 
tions.) 

Use  three  stars  separated  by  an  em  quad  to 
denote  an  ellipsis  in  text.     If  a  full  line  of  stars 


—  28  — 

is  markerl,  use  seven,  indented  two  ems  at  each 
end  of  the  line.  Do  not  overrun  stars  at  the 
end  of  paragraph. 

Indentions  should  be  uniform,  as  to  para- 
graphs, hanging  indentions,  signatures,  date  lines, 
etc.  Smaller  type  extracts  should  have  the  same 
indention  in  points  as  the  text.  Overruns  may 
be  any  number  of  ems,  to  prevent  conflict  with 
other  indentions,  but  should  be  uniform  on  a  page. 
This  also  applies  to  total  lines  in  leader  matter. 

In  indexes,  where  leaders  are  used,  allow  a 
full  em  before  the  page  figures ;  if  the  page 
figures  extend  back  to  the  text,  use  an  en  quad. 
Indexes  are  to  be  the  general  text  style,  except 
that  names  of  vessels  go  in  roman,  and  "see," 
or  "see  also,"  go  in  italic.  « 

In  resolutions,  "Whereas,"  in  the  preamble,  \ 
should  be  set  in  cap  and  small  caps  and  begin  a 
paragraph.  "Therefore  be  it"  should  follow  a 
colon  and  run  in  with  the  last  "Whereas."  I 
Resolved,  (followed  by  comma)  should  be  in 
italic  and  the  word  following  should  be  capital- 
ized.

COMPOUND  AND  NONCOMPOUND 
WORDS. 


Compound   Words. 

Follow  Webster's  Dictionary  j?enerally  in  the 
use  or  omission  of  the  hy])hen  or  space  between 
words.  The  vocabulary  of  double  words  (p.  41) 
is  inserted  for  convenient  reference.  It  shows 
some  variations  which  are  to  be  followed.  Com- 
pound adjectives  generally  take  the  hyphen. 

all-round  man. 

asked-for  opinion. 

contested-election  case. 

cotton-boll  weevil. 

iron-ship  builder. 

joint-stock  company. 

light-green  color. 

national-bank  note(s). 

sea-island  cotton. 

state-bank  note(s). 

8.")-candlepower  lamp. 

Tr>-liorsepower  engine. 

12-iuch  main. 

§-iuch  pipe. 

ten  10-horsepower  cars. 

Do  not  confuse  a  qualifying  word  with  a  sub- 
ject word  ;  for  instance,  a  shoemaker  may  be  a 
German  shoemaker.  If  he  makes  wooden  shoes, 
he  is  a  wooden-shoe  maker.  Also  observe  the 
following  forms :  Young  school-teacher,  common- 
school  teacher,  high-school  teacher,  public-school 
teacher,  etc. 

A  present  or  past  participle  with  a  noun  or 
an  adjective  may  take  a  hyphen  in  such  expres- 
sions as  the  following :  Always  wind-obeying 
deep ;  well-dealing  countrymen  :  dark-working 
sorceress ;  soul-killing  witches  ;  fool-begging  pa- 
tience, etc. 

Adverbs  ending  with  "ly"  are  not  usually  com- 
pounded with  the  adjectives  which  they  qualify, 
as  a  "nicely  kept  lawn."  But  worcls  like 
"above,"  "ill,"  "well,"  "so,"  etc..  are  compounded 
in  such  expressions  as  "the  well-known  writer," 
"the  so-called  tariff  reform."  "this  ill-advised 
expenditure,"  "the  last-named  article,"  etc. 


—  40  — 

Fractions,  when  spelled,  should  be  com- 
pounded :  One  twenty-first,  one-fifth,  eighty-one 
one-huudredths,  one  one-hundredth,  the  one- 
hundredth  part,  one  onc-hundred-and-twcntiftli, 
two    one-hundred-and-twenty-sixths. 

When  used  adjectively,  the  exjiressions  "first- 
class,"  "second-class,"  etc.,  are  to  be  hyphenated  ; 
otherwise  they  should  be  printed  as  two  words  : 
A  first-class  passage,  a  first-class  man.  a  man  of 
the  first  class,  a  work  of  the  second  class,  etc. 

In  such  expressions  as  the  "■January-Juno 
period,"  "Washington-Baltimore  improvement," 
etc.,  when  used  adjectively,  use  hyphens  ;  but  to 
indicate  the  elision  of  the  word  "to."  in  such 
expressions  as  "the  period  January-June,"  use 
an  en  dash. 

Mr.  So-and-so. 

Noncompound   Words. 

Omit  the  hyphen  in  civil  and  military  titles,  as 
Attorney  General,  Postmaster  General,  brigadier 
general,  lieutenant  colonel,  etc. 

Omit  the  hyphen  in  such  Latin  forms  as.  "ex 
officio  member,"  "ante  helium  days."  "prima 
facie  evidence,"  "per  diem  employees,"  etc. ;  and 
also  in  such  cases  as  "life  (or  fire)  insurance 
company,"  "ocean  mail  lines,"  "railway  rate 
legislation."  "street  car  lines."  etc. 

Omit  the  hyphen  in  abbreviated  terms  except 
"sec.-ft."

VOCABULARY  OF  DOUBLE  WORDS. 

Double  words  not  found  in  tliis  vo(i\l)ul:iry  or 
in  Websters  Dictionary  should  be  soi)iiral('d  by 
a  space. 

I'rofixos  are  in  bold-faced  type. 

Where  a  suffix  is  preceded  by  a  hyphen,  use  a 
hy])hen  ;  if  not,  make  one  word. 

"The  rest  take  hyphen,''  "the  rest  one  word," 
means  all  others  of  the  same  class  found  in 
Webster's  Dictionary. 

The  abbreviations  (a.),  for  adjective  :  (adv.). 
for  adverb;  (n.),  for  noun;  or  (v.),  for  verb 
after  a  word  restrict  the  use  of  the  word  to  the 
part  of  speech  indicated. 

Words  taking-  the  suffix  "like"'  should  be  one 
word,  unless  ending  in  "11,"  when  a  hyphen 
should  be  used,  as  shell-like,  etc. 

The  elements  of  many  double  words  may  be 
used  separately.  Observe  the  caution  as  to 
qualifying  and  subject  words  under  the  heading 
"Compound  words,"  and  do  not  make  a  com- 
pound unless  the  sense  requires  it.

PUNCTUATION. 

11)0  comma  separates  two  words  of  the  same 
|)ar(s  of  speecli  and  in  the  same  construction,  if 
used  as  a  conjunction  between  them.  Also,  in  a 
series  of  words,  all  of  the  same  parts  of  speech, 
a  comma  is  inserted  between  each,  except  where 
the  conjunction  and  is  used  between  the  last  two 
words  of  the  series.  Expressions  of  a  paren- 
thetical or  immediate  nature  are  separated  from 
the  context  by  a  comma.  A  word  or  an  expres- 
sion denoting  a  person  or  an  object  addressed,  is 
separated  by  a  comma  from  the  rest  of  the 
sentence. 

The  use  of  the  comma,  however,  is  largely  a 
matter  of  individual  preference ;  but  its  close  use 
not  being  demanded  by  state  work,  it  should  not 
be  insisted  upon  in  any  sentence  that  reads  along 
connectedly,  without  a  natural  or  radical  break 
in  thought. 

The  semicolon  is  used  for  dividing  a  compound 
sentence  into  two  or  more  parts,  less  closely  con- 
nected than  those  which  are  separated  by  a 
comma,  nor  yet  so  little  dependent  on  each  other 
as  those  distinguished  by  a  colon. 

In  thin-spaced  lines,  the  space  after  the  semi- 
colon should  be  slightly  increased. 

TJie  colon  is  used  to  divide  a  sentence  into  two 
or  more  parts  less  closely  connected  than  those 
which  are  separated  by  a  semicolon,  but  not  so 
independent  as  separate,  distinct  sentences. 

The  colon  should  never  be  used  with  a  dash  or 
other  point,  even  in  the  case  of  abbreviations. 
Increase  space  after  the  colon  as  required. 

The  period  is  used  when  a  sentence  is  com- 
plete and  independent,  and  not  connected  in  con- 
struction with  a  following  sentence. 

TTse  an  em  quad  after  a  jieriod  ending  a  sen- 
tence ;    not   a    spaceband    and   an    en   space. 

TJie  dash  is  introduced  where  the  sentence 
breaks  off  al)ruptly,  where  a  significant  ]»ause  is 
required,  or  where  there  is  an  unexpected  turn 
in  the  sentiment. 

The  dash  should  never  be  used  with  any  other 
point  (except  at  the  end  of  a  side  heading  or 
paragraph),  and  never  at  the  beginning  of  the 
line. 


—  88  — 

The  interroffofion  is  used  at  the  end  of  an 
interrogative  sentence  ;  that  is,  when  a  question 
is  asked;   as.  Who  will  aecomi)any  me? 

The  exclamation  is  applied  to  expressions  of 
sudden  surprise,  emotion,  etc.,  and  also  to 
address  and  invocation ;  as.  My  friend !  your 
conduct  amazes  me  ! 

Parentheses  are  used  to  include  a  word  or 
clause  containing  some  necessary  information, 
or  useful  remark  introduced  into  the  body  of  a 
sentence  obliquely,  and  which  might  be  omitted 
without  in.iuriu,g  the  construction.  Dashes  are 
also  used  quite  frequently  for  the  same  purpose 
as  marks  of  parenthesis. 

AYhen  a  sentence  is  divided,  and  a  ])arenthet- 
ical  word,  remark,  or  clause  thrown  in,  the 
division  points  should  be  placed  after  the  paren- 
theses. Place  the  period  within  the  parentheses 
only  when  they  include  a  sentence. 

Brackets  are  used  within  parentheses  to  hold 
explanatory  words,  etc.,  and  to  include  words  or 
remarks  foreign  to  the  sentence,  as  [laughter], 
[indicating]. 

Quotation  marls  should  be  placed  after  ex- 
clamation or  interrogation  marks  when  the 
punctuation  sign  is  part  of  the  sentence,  other- 
wise before,  as  with  the  semicolon  and  colon. 
Always  place  after  comma  and  period.  He  said, 
"Is  it  right?"  Have  you  read  "Three  Squeaks"? 
"Help  !  Murder  !"  cried  the  unfortunate  wretch 
as  he  fled  from  these  interrogations. 

Excerpts  or  extracts  from  law  or  decisions 
should  be  quoted  at  beginning  and  end,  and  at 
beginning  of  each  paragraph,  whether  indented 
or  set  in  smaller  ty])e,  unless  it  be  the  language 
of  the  author,  used  on  a  ])revious  occasion.  Do 
not  use  quotations  when  the  extract  is  dated  and 
signed. 

A  quotation  within  a  quotation  should  be 
single  quoted ;  but  a  quotation  within  a  single 
quotation  takes  the  double  mark. 

Fossessircs  and  Apostrophes.  Nouns  in  the 
singular,  or  in  the  plural,  when  ending  with  any 
letter  other  than  "s."  require  an  apostrophe  and 
"s,'"  as,  man's,  men's,  child's,  children's.  When 
singular  or  ])lural  nouns  end  in  "s,"  only  the 
apostrophe  after  the  "s"  is  necessary,  as  Burns', 
Jones',  witness'  testimony,  witnesses'  testimony. 


—  89  — 

Avoid  the  iiso  of  tlio  aijostroplic  unless  the 
idea  of  i)ossessiou  is  very  clear.  Such  words  as 
peoples,  nierelianls.  farmers,  in  peoples  forum, 
nu>r('liants  exchan.ue,  or  farmers  union,  do  not 
retiuire  the  possessive. 

Omit  the  apostrophe  in  all  abbreviations  or 
contractions,  as,  Fredk.,.or  contd. 

(^mit  comma  in  James  Lind  of  Sacramento: 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Van  Houston  of  Woodland  ;  J.  W. 
(xoodman  of  San  Jose. 

Omit  period  after  letters  or  fijiures  used  for 
subdivisions,  when  placed  in  parentheses ;  as, 
(a),  (b).  (8)  :  (1).  (2).  (3).  When  not  used 
with  ]»arentheses.  use  period  and  an  en  space. 

Omit  the  liyi)hen  in  civil  and  military  titles, 
as  Attorney  General,  Fostmaster  General,  lieu-

MAKE-UP  AND  IMPOSITION. 

Make-up  should  hv  standardized  as  far  as  pos- 
sible, nsinj>'  standard  furniture  and  margins. 

Page  justification  needs  to  be  firm  with  a 
uniform  swell.     Use  twin  gauges. 

Make  all  pages  full,  if  possible. 

In  initial  work,  the  size  of  the  trimmed  book 
should  be  known,  for  this  determines  the  size  of 
the  type  page.  The  margin  should  be  divided 
so  as  to  allow,  usually,  one  pica  more  at  the 
bottom  and  sides  than  at  the  top  and  back. 

When  center  folios  are  used.  — 1 — .  — 2 — , 
—3—,  is  style  for  the  top.  and  (1),  (2),  (3),  in 
a  smaller  type  than  the  text,  style  for  the 
bottom  of  pages. 

jSIuch  care  should  be  taken  in  "whitening 
out."  balance,  sinking  and  break-overs. 

The  sink  at  the  head  of  each  new  page  should 
be  uniform  throughout  the  book. 

Do  not  break  on  a  hyphen  or  on  one  line. 

Do  not  run  over  one  line, 

"Contents."  "List  of  Illustrations,"  "Letter  of 
Transmittal,"  or  any  other  matter  that  makes 
a  page  in  itself,  should  be  placed  slightly  above 
the  center  of  the  page. 

All  caption  lines  should  have  more  space  above 
than  below. 

See  that  the  signature  marks  and  closing 
mark  are  always  used. 

State  publications  are  usually  made  up  in  the 
following  order :  Page  1,  title  ;  page  2,  blank  ; 
page  3,  table  of  contents ;  when  contents  end  on 
page  3,  then  page  4  is  blank ;  page  5,  letter  of 
transmittal ;  page  )>,  blank  ;  page  7,  text  i)roper. 

In  side-stitched  books,  an  extra  pica  should  be 
allowed  in  center  margin. 

Pamphlets  up  to  (>4  pages  should  be  imposed 
as  an  insert   (or  saddle  stitch). 

True  all  forms  both  transversely  and  diag- 
onally.
